Do animals get earaches or sore throats? Who helps them if they can’t talk? Meet the author and illustrator of Dr. Rosie Helps the Animals, an award-winning picture book informed by real-world veterinarians. The author and illustrator will tell the story behind the story of Dr. Rosie and engage kids in an interactive reading. After that, there’ll be a hands-on activity where kids (and their grownups) learn how to evaluate, diagnose, and treat a stuffed animal. Each participant will receive their own mini vet kit and diagnostic/treatment sheet to take home. This program is best for children ages 4-8. Please plan to attend and be engaged with your child for this program. Children should bring their own stuffed animals. Registration required; click here.
Get up close and personal with some of the biggest, creepiest, and friendliest insects you’ve ever seen! They might look scary, but these gentle giants are friendly, fun, and can teach us a lot about creatures very different from ourselves. This program is designed for children ages 4+ and accompanying adults. Please plan to attend and be engaged with your child for this program. Click here for more information.
